    Best game of the 21st century. if you like cheese this game is for you. What we at Galliant Reviews mean is that it gives you all the goodness of a "cheesy" game! haha... It does for some odd reason make you crave dairy products, cheese specifically.

    I played it for maybe 30 minutes before I gave up on it. Flying around on the dragons was fun but the mini games got old fast. Controlling the dragons isn't difficult but children will struggle to maneuver the dragon through the ring mini games. The biggest problem with the game is it is so limited in what it offers a player. There is no story/campaing mode. There is limited multi-player action available.

    It feels like the developer spent a lot of time trying to get the visuals to look nice and the controls to not be broken and they ran out of time to make an actual complete game. I feel bad for any parent that bought this game for their child and then had to see their kid quit on the game probably immediately.    … Expand

    The only good thing is the music BUT the music was taken straight from the movie's soundtrack. Just another cheap cash-grab from a really good animated movie.

    The best game that I have ever played. The controls and graphics are amazing.

    This game is horrible. It would be extremely difficult for a child to play this game. It deserves a 0 rating. Very very frustrating.

    The movie was great, so I wanted to give the game a try. And the first few hours are fun. Especially the flying controls work very well. But soon, I realized, how repetitive the game gets. Overall rating: 6.7.

    After the first 20 minutes I though “Hey this ain’t so bad.” But since the second, third or fourth 20 minutes give you exactly the same content as the first 20, I changed my mind. It is quite bad.

    The developers missed a trick here. In my opinion, the game could have been so much more quite easily. The flying is brilliant, allowing you to bank so harshly and attack means that we could have had a game that set island against island in numerous battles. However, we are stuck with an ok racer dragged to mediocrity by idea of the “Dragon Games”.
